HDL AXI SPIDF Linux Driver

Supported Devices

  • HDL AXI SPDIF

Source Code

Status

Source Mainlined?
git In progress

Files

Function File
driver sound/soc/xlnx/axi-spdif.c

Example device initialization

The AXI SPDIF driver is a platform driver and can currently only be instantiated via device tree.

Required devicetree properties:

  • compatible: Should always be “adi,axi-spdif-tx-1.00.a”
  • reg: Base address and register area size
  • clock-frequency: Clock frequency applied at the spdif_data_clk pin in HZ

Example:

    axi_spdif_tx_0: axi-spdif-tx@75c00000 {
        compatible = "adi,axi-spdif-tx-1.00.a";
        reg = <0x75c00000 0x1000>;
        clock-frequency = <12288000>;
    };

DAI configuration

The driver will register one CPU-DAI named after the device itself.

Supported DAI formats

ADV7511 HDMI + SPDIF board driver

The HDL AXI SPDIF driver is currently used in conjunction with the ADV7511 HDMI transmitter on various FPGA platforms. For these platforms there exist a ASoC board driver which provides the necessary information on how both device are interconnected, so that a ALSA sound card can be instantiated.

Kernel configuration

Enable ALSA SoC evaluation board driver:

Device Drivers  --->
<*> Sound card support  --->
<*>   Advanced Linux Sound Architecture  --->
<*>     ALSA for SoC audio support  --->
<*>       SoC Audio for Xilinx based boards
<*>       ADV7511 HDMI transmitter sound support

Example device initialization

The ADV7511 HDMI sound board driver is a platform driver and can currently only be instantiated via device tree.

Required devicetree properties:

  • compatible: Should always be “adv7511-hdmi-snd”
  • cpu-dai: Phandle to the SPDIF device devicetree entry
  • pcm: Phandle to the PCM device devicetree entry

Example:

    axi_dma_0: axidma@40400000 {
        #address-cells = <1>;
        #size-cells = <1>;
        #dma-cells = <1>;
        compatible = "xlnx,axi-dma";
        reg = <0x40400000 0x1000>;
        xlnx,sg-include-stscntrl-strm = <0x0>;
        dma-channel@40400000 {
            compatible = "xlnx,axi-dma-mm2s-channel";
            interrupts = <0 58 0x4>;
            xlnx,datawidth = <0x20>;
            xlnx,include-dre = <0x0>;
        };
    };

    xilinx_pcm_audio: xilinx_pcm_audio {
        compatible = "xilinx-pcm-audio";
        #size-cells = <0>;
        #address-cells = <1>;

        playback: stream@0 {
            reg = <0>;
            dma-request = <&axi_dma_0 0>;
        };
    };

    axi_spdif_tx_0: axi-spdif-tx@0x75c00000 {
        compatible = "adi,axi-spdif-tx-1.00.a";
        reg = <0x75c00000 0x1000>;
        clock-frequency = <12288000>;
    };

    adv7511_hdmi_snd: adv7511_hdmi_snd {
        compatible = "adv7511-hdmi-snd";
        cpu-dai = <&axi_spdif_tx_0>;
        pcm = <&xilinx_pcm_audio>;
    };

Driver testing

Make sure the sound card is properly instantiated.

This specifies any shell prompt running on the target

root:/> aplay -l
card 0: monitor [HDMI monitor], device 0: HDMI adv7511-0 []
  Subdevices: 1/1
  Subdevice #0: subdevice #0

To test audio playback you can use the speaker-test utility, which allows to playback several different test patterns. For a extensive description on the speaker-test utility and the different options it supports please refer to the speaker-test man page.

This specifies any shell prompt running on the target

root:/> speaker-test -c 2
speaker-test 1.0.24.2

Playback device is default
Stream parameters are 48000Hz, S16_LE, 2 channels
Using 16 octaves of pink noise
Rate set to 48000Hz (requested 48000Hz)
Buffer size range from 512 to 2097152
Period size range from 256 to 262143
Requested buffer time 20000 us
Periods = 4
was set period_size = 320
was set buffer_size = 960
 0 - Front Left
 1 - Front Right
....

To test audio record you can use the arecord utility. arecord will record the incoming audio signal and write it to a wav file.

This specifies any shell prompt running on the target

root:/> arecord -f S16 -r 48000 -c 2 > test.wav
...

To playback a wav file you can use the aplay utility. You can also create a audio loop-back by sending the output of arecord to aplay. This will send the incoming audio stream back via the outgoing audio stream.

This specifies any shell prompt running on the target

root:/> arecord -f S16 -r 48000 -c 2 | aplay
...

For more information on the the aplay and arecord utilities please refer to the aplay and arecord man page.
